Diet is extremely important for us, but I believe attention should be paid to the quality of the food we eat (no processed foods at all, organic, fresh or frozen fresh, etc), and how we live in general. Exercise is a biggie for sure. Mental health, as in positive attitude, perseverance, and good basic health habits.

And cheating! You gotta 'reward' yourself every once in awhile, just to stay human about it all. Just get yourself in a position where cheating doesn't compromise your established well-being.

Yes....there's my buddy.  You bring up a very good point about the cheats.  My cheat is a few beers and a good cigar once a month.  I can maintain the diet when I know my reward is an evening with some good tunes...a few coldies....and a nice Padron. I eat very strictly for a week going in , and ZERO other carbs that day.  

I only cheat my diet a few times a year....mostly holidays.  Otherwise.....I'm a stickler.
